Debbie talks about why long lines can be a game-changer for reducing lead pulling, responding to negative feedback from a social media post that sparked controversy. She explains how short leads set dogs up to fail by restricting their natural sniffing behaviours and how long lines reduce the frequency of pulling by giving dogs freedom to move naturally.

Debbie talks about the realities of living with an energetic dog and the challenge of meeting their needs alongside everyday responsibilities. She shares her personal experiences with Rem, her high-energy dog who walked over 50 miles during a recent Lake District holiday, and explains why consistency, breed-specific activities, and morning exercise are more effective than simply increasing walk duration.

In this episode Debbie discusses the shift she observes between dogs in focused training mode versus free thinking mode, and why this matters for successful training. She explores how some dogs can perform trained behaviours beautifully when given instructions but struggle to make good choices independently without constant human direction. Debbie explains why teaching dogs to think freely and manage their own emotions is just as important as teaching specific skills, using examples from reactivity training and comparing the concept to different parenting styles. She encourages dog parents to notice whether their dogs can only behave well when actively...

Debbie talks about the Rule of Three, a guideline that helps dog parents understand how long dogs need to truly settle into new environments. She explains the three key timeframes (three days, three weeks, and three months) and how each stage represents a different part of the adjustment process. Debbie discusses why this rule applies not just to rescue dogs, but to puppies, holiday situations, and house moves, offering practical advice on how to support your dog through significant life changes and why going slowly leads to better long-term results.
